WHAT IS THERMAL IMAGING

The Electromagnetic Spectrum

Thermal imaging is one of the most powerful technologies
ever developed to enhance human vision.

Normally, our vision is limited to a very small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Thermal energy has a much longer wavelength than visible light. So long, in fact, that the human eye can’t even see it, just like we can’t see radio waves.

With thermal imaging, the portion of the spectrum we perceive is dramatically expanded, helping us “see” heat. Visible light doesn’t affect the thermal world, so you can see equally well in highly lit and totally dark environments.

The FLIR ONE™ thermal camera allows us to see things the naked eye could never perceive on its own.

COLORWAYS

The Electromagnetic Spectrum

GAMMA RAYS

Gamma Rays have the smallest wavelengths and most energy of any wave in the spectrum. They can be generated by nuclear explosions, lightning, and radioactive decay.

The Electromagnetic Spectrum

X-RAYS

X-rays have very high energy and short wavelengths, between 0.03 and 3 nanometers. Some are no bigger than a single atom of many elements.

The Electromagnetic Spectrum

ULTRAVIOLET

UV has shorter wavelengths than visible light, though some insects like bumblebees can actually see it. Fortunately, about 95% of harmful UV-B rays are absorbed by Earth's ozone.

The Electromagnetic Spectrum

VISIBLE LIGHT

All electromagnetic radiation is light—the portion our eyes can see, we call visible light. Cone-shaped cells in our eyes act as receivers tuned to the wavelengths in this narrow band of the spectrum.

The Electromagnetic Spectrum

INFRARED

Infrared light waves are just beyond the spectrum of light visible to the human eye. Most of the energy of the sun arrives on earth as infrared light.

The Electromagnetic Spectrum

RADIO WAVES

Radio waves have the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum, ranging from the length of a football to larger than our planet.

WHAT DO YOU GET?

FLIR ONE is lightweight, easy
to connect and easy to use.

You’ll explore the world around you in ways you never thought possible, with no additional cords, cases, devices or screens necessary. Pop it onto your iPhone5 or 5s, and take it with you wherever you go. A new world of vision in the palm of your hand.

Why does my FLIR ONE have two cameras?

MSX® Technology

Raw thermal images are beautiful, however, they don't provide too much physical detail. So the FLIR ONE blends both images using MSX Technology, providing physical detail to the raw thermal reading. With MSX Technology, the FLIR ONE captures what nothing else can.

EXTRACTED DETAIL

COMBINED IMAGE

LEPTON™ CAMERA

This is the camera that allows the FLIR ONE to take a thermal reading. Smaller than a dime, it's the most compact long-wave infrared sensor available, and it's positioned to equip a new generation of mobile and handheld devices with unprecedented thermal imaging capabilities.

STANDARD CAMERA

Every time you capture a thermal reading with the FLIR ONE, you are also taking a standard picture. This picture will provide physical detail to the raw thermal reading.

Battery capacity: 1400 mA/h (maximum thermal imager battery life is approximately four hours continuous use. FLIR ONE does not consume power from the iPhone battery, nor does it charge the iPhone battery)

Core: FLIR Lepton thermal camera core

Visible camera: VGA (used for FLIR® MSX® blending)

Sensitivity: ability to detect temperature differences as small as 0.18 °F (0.1°C)

Charging method: micro USB and 1A wall charger (charges FLIR ONE but not the iPhone)

DEVELOPER KIT

Create amazing iPhone apps using the power of the FLIR ONE!

THERMAL APPS FOR FLIR ONE

FLIR ONE TimeLapse™

Timelapse video lets you quickly observe the often-subtle way things change by speeding up time. Combine that with the thermal imaging power of a FLIR ONE-enabled iPhone 5/5s, and now you can view, capture, and easily share incredible thermal time lapse movies, showing changes in a scene and its temperatures over time.

FLIR ONE Panorama™

Apply the power of your FLIR ONE-enabled iPhone 5/5s to awe-inspiring panoramic images with FLIR ONE Panorama. Capture stunning wide-angle pictures of breathtaking scenery, then easily save, manage and share them with the world. Get the big picture in a way you’ve never seen it before!

FLIR ONE Paint™

Create and share fun and dramatic photos that blend color and thermal elements together with your FLIR ONE-enabled iPhone 5/5s. FLIR ONE Paint is an easy way to capture color photos and convert selected elements from color to thermal with the swipe of your finger. So you can create images that make selected objects really stand out!
